Scholarships for masters in teaching are usually given to KPs who had served a good duration of time in MOE, i would say at least 10 years. I have never seen a masters Teaching Assistant in NIE who is in their 30s.

Prospects

Hi i've recently just applied to the PGDE programme and im curious about the career progression and starting pay scale. For some context i am female fresh grad, (local uni) + Masters(NUS) and i've had some teaching experience in a international school for about 2 years (part-time while i was doing my masters). Ive heard that HR will only take into account the honours for your first degree and base your pay on that. Is this true? And will part-time teaching experience factor in into the starting pay?

Also, since i've already taken my masters, are there opportunities to do a PHD/EdD in the future, (e.g. 5 years into teaching?) or will it be reserved only for more senior teachers/ scholars?

Also

When i read posts like this, i feel sad. It’s kind of naive that you this way. People are imperfect. Read widely and learn to read people.

Yup there are laws to protect teachers from abusive adults. But not from children and much less special needs children.

Also, I fully agreed that DMs are finding it more difficult to enforce discipline since the kids also know that the school can't do much to them. It also doesn't help that many parents just throw their ill-disciplined kids to the school and ensure they are in the school childcare as well in order to "handover" or "outsource" the teaching to the school. There are even many who signed up their children to endless enrichment classes during weekends and school holidays so that they can "hands off" their kids. There are simply too many parents who don't care or don't know how to teach their children. They expect miracles to happen when they send their kids into the school at 7am and fetch them at 6pm after child care. They don't monitor their work after they fetch them and don't pick up calls when teachers call them giving the excuse that they are busy at work. Some even use their children to take childcare leave by taking MCs so that they can skive from their work when their child is perfectly fine but unable to attend school to learn.

The world is sick now. Many parents want to just give birth but are unable to teach or hold the responsibility to educate their child. Then they blamed it all on teachers. However, teachers cannot complain. There are law and notices to protect doctors and nurses. However, who protect the teachers? The kids can throw tables and chairs and bits and hit the teachers, but the teachers cannot fight back.

The voices of teachers are ignored but the voices of parents are attended to straightaway. Where is the system to protect the teachers?

How old are you?

Could be just an accelerated track for you to catch up with your peers of the same age.
